Two Parrish residents suffer serious injuries in Saturday night wreck on U.S. 301

Both drivers suffered serious injuries in a crash on U.S. 301 in northern Manatee County on Saturday night, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

A 30-year-old Parrish woman was driving a 2016 Dodge Journey northbound on U.S. 301 just north of the intersection with Dickey Road, according to FHP, when the vehicle drifted into the southbound lane.

The front left of the Dodge Journey then struck the front left of a southbound 2008 GMC Sierra driven by a 23-year-old Parrish man, according to the FHP release.

The GMC Sierra overturned twice before coming to rest upright, at which point the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames, according to FHP, while the Dodge Journey came to rest on the west shoulder of U.S. 301.

There were no other passengers in either vehicle, according to the report. The crash remains under investigation.
